Default leaking gas from above muffler on 95 5.0???

Just wanted to start by saying glad to be back! I was previously mustangmike50, but lost the password, changed email... I just bought a 95 5.0 yesterday. Although they are similar, I have always ever had 87- 88 Mustangs...She is leaking down onto the muffler constantly. It even leaks while not running until the line is depressureized. And when starting, I have to pump the gas, to get the pressure back up to start. I have not been under yet, it was dark when I got home. I am hoping it is just the fuel filter loose. Any ideas, or common problems I should know about here? She is a 95 5.0 with 211000 KM Thanks y'all! Much appreciated!

Well after further inspection, the fuel lines are rusty, and seam to be leaking above the muffler on the passenger side. I have not actually found the leak, but have an idea...I will probably have to change the whole line, as they are very rusted, any ideas how much $ that will set me back??

you can just replace a section of the line. pick yourself up a tubing cutter, maybe $10 from autozone, a section of line, and 2 compression fittings.

all told probably $30
